Henry Holmes 1830 - 1926

Hi, I'm trying to find information about Henry Holmes (ie. the location of his birth, marriage and parents)

I've found that Henry was born in Ireland in about 1830 but if anyone has been able to find something more specific than that it would be much appreciated. He married an Australian, Mary Ann King (d. 1924), in 1869 in Australia and he died in 1926, most likely in Australia.

I've been able to find a line of his descendants but nothing about his parents and ancestors.

Henry had 13 children between 1870 and 1890, one of which was Emma Jane Holmes who was born in New South Wales, Australia in 1876 and died in NSW in 1952. She married Joe Johnson (1858 - 1937, from England) in Australia in 1896.

Any information about Henry and his ancestors would be much appreciated.
